Science was born as a result and consequence of philosophy; it cannot survive without a philosophical (particularly epistemological) base. If philosophy perishes, science will be next to go. – AYN RAND
Biden’s claim that he released 1 billion barrels of gasoline to “lower prices at the pump” is his latest attempt to convince Americans he’s trying to lower gasoline prices. But in fact, he’s doing his utmost to raise prices, because this is necessary for his anti-fossil-fuel goals.
“Addressing climate change” is the wrong target; we want to reduce climate danger—and that requires liberating, not eliminating, fossil fuel use.
Even with recent temperatures, which are a temporary anomaly, not the new normal, cold is a bigger problem than heat and fossil fuels keep us safer from both.
Liberate domestic industry to mine and process them cost-effectively; encourage friendly trading partners to do the same; and stop artificially driving up demand before supply chains are ready.
We start with rock, crush and burn it to extract its essence in powdered form, and then reconstitute it at a place and time and in a shape of our choosing. Like coffee or pancake mix, it is “instant stone—just add water!” And with it, we make skyscrapers that reach hundreds of stories high, tunnels that go under the English channel and the Swiss Alps, and bridges that stretch a hundred miles.
Fossil fuel companies should say two things when threatened for expressing pro-fossil-fuel opinions: 1) We have a 1st Amendment right to our opinions on energy and climate, and 2) We are now going to talk a lot more about the benefits, including climate benefits, of our industry.
Cold weather kills about ten times the number of people who are killed by hot weather,
Climate activists, government officials, and the United Nations claim that fossil fuel emissions caused global warming. Now scientists have disproved that claim.
The Republican National Committee has passed an unprecedented resolution that powerfully advocates for energy freedom in America.
The essence of Jacobin Magazine’s argument is that it isn’t fair that some get to enjoy things most of us can’t afford. If everyone can’t enjoy luxuries, then nobody should be allowed to. This is an example of what Ayn Rand called “hatred of the good for being the good.”
The Techno-optimist Manifesto does not fully recognize the necessity of freedom.
What has long troubled climate policy deliberations also contains within itself its own public-choice solution.
Governments are banning fossil-fueled vehicles, but not to save humanity.
A truly moral justification for property rights in space.
Fossil fuels expert Alex Epstein shares everything you need to know about fossil fuels and what the world would really look like if we were “net zero” by 2050.
America is replacing fossil energy with green energy, but not to save the planet.
Instead of spending millions of dollars on fire prevention as was recommended, Hawaii’s Public Utility Commission spent that money and more on complying with a state law that insists by 2045, the state will be 100 percent renewable energy.
“I can confidently say there is no real climate crisis” – John Clauser,
“[The] main thing still in my mind is that the lab escape version of this is so friggin’ likely to have happened because they were already doing this type of work and the molecular data is fully consistent with that scenario,” Andersen said to his colleagues, according to a report from Public, which published a series of Slack messages between the authors.
Answers to: “Do you believe in climate change?” “Are you a climate denier?” “Will you listen to the scientists on climate change?” And more!
“Green energy” has 2 problems: 1) It’s not really energy: It doesn’t provide reliable energy. 2) It’s not really green: It has a huge “environmental impact.”
Lawmakers and their constituents don’t need to be climate scientists to understand why.
America can stop the decline of our grid and move toward low-cost, reliable, and cleaner electricity by ending all preferences for unreliable electricity.
In Fossil Future, Alex Epstein refutes literally hundreds of myths about fossil fuels. Here are 20 myths that 11,000,000 people heard on Joe Rogan’s podcast this year, refuted.
Most climate scientists agree that we have some climate impact. This does not at all justify the rapid elimination of fossil fuels.
The idea that male-female gender is an arbitrary social construct is postmodern nonsense.
Instead of protecting our oil security by protecting oil industry freedom and backing it up with an ample reserve, President Biden has doubly damaged it by first attacking the oil industry’s freedom, then dangerously depleting our reserve for political purposes.
The fundamental goal of environmentalism is not clean air and clean water; rather, it is the demolition of technological/industrial civilization. Environmentalism’s goal is not the advancement of human health, human happiness, and human life; rather, it is a subhuman world where “nature” is worshipped like the totem of some primitive religion.
California officials are needlessly inflicting huge risks, costs, and intrusions on Californians, rather than relying on proven adaptation at a much lower cost and disruption.
A carbon tax would raise energy prices, make every American industry less competitive, and offshore our CO2 emissions to the countries that outcompete us.
While the climate is a complex system and much of the scientific analysis is technical, acquiring first-hand knowledge of climate change and forming an independent view of it is essential.
Anti-fossil-fuel politicians, like Rep. Cori Bush, tried to discredit Alex Epstein’s Congressional testimony on energy security using 100% false personal attacks. They failed, and all such future attempts will fail.
